2017 Map of Buckhorn Reservoir

About this map

Buckhorn Reservoir and the surrounding high desert terrain define this portion of Emery County, where water management and ranching infrastructure dictate the landscape. The map reveals a complex network of small, scattered ponds and reservoirs, including Jim Wilson Reservoir, Lynns Pond, and Jorgensen Pond, which are vital for livestock in this arid environment. Transportation through the area centers on the historic Green River Cutoff Rd, which navigates between striking geological formations like The Red Ledges and the Chalk Hills. Notable landmarks such as Little Cedar Mtn and Hadden Reef provide vertical relief against the expansive stretches of Buckhorn Flat and Hadden Flat. The presence of features like Wedge Pond (Number 1) near The Wedge suggests a landscape managed for both seasonal runoff and long-term grazing utility.
